[QUOTE="Mossy Dell, post: 1692895, member: 24261"] Sounds like a recipe for complete disaster. Always buy from people who are raising animals how you want to and, ideally, from the same or comparable region. In the US, I found that critical for such factors as adaptation to forages (especially toxic fescue) and humidity. When Adams Ranch in Florida was crossing northern Hereford bulls with their base of Brahman and cracker cows, the bulls soon died due to mosquitoes and heat stress. They did get enough cows bred to create a new breed, the Braford. And they probably expected bulls to die; as I recall, they kept bringing them in for a while to get the numbers and percentages they needed. [/QUOTE]
